The Nook is the perfect bolthole for a cosy, autumnal break. Perfectly situated for local walks, bike rides and attractions. Perfect and welcoming village pub a short walk away. Parking, top class facilities and a log fire to warm us up after a long day of outdoors activities. The owners were so considerate and welcoming as well, we can’t wait to come back
